Impaired Persons Facilities Based on a Multi-modality Speech Processing System
نویسندگان
چکیده
We introduce a speech processing system that uses a low-cost PC board to be plugged into an 8 bit ISA bus expansion slot. The board is based on the AT&T's DSP32C signal processor. The advantage of this configuration is that we can execute many different applications by downloading them from the PC, all running on the same hardware. The software applications for this system include: Rehabilitation and diagnostic systems for speech impaired persons. Hearing impaired evaluation system, based on pure tone audio measures. Spanish text to speech conversion system, used in applications for mobility impaired and blind persons.
